Ethier finds a lineup he can crack

EthierDodgers outfielder Andre Ethier can't convince Joe Torre to play him full time, even though he's second on the team in home runs and gets on base more than Juan Pierre. (OK, that's setting the bar low.) But Ethier has a new passion: food. He's blogging his experiences at Los Angeles restaurants, most recently reviewing La Paella, on the eastern version of San Vicente near La Cienega. He got the idea to go Spanish while "sitting on the plane (row 27, seat d - in case you wanted to know) during one of our recent road trips, and was watching one of my favorite TV shows 'No Reservations' with Anthony Bourdain."
